Hey so hear me out. What if I had a way to give town another kill D1. It requires a vote though, and if it doesn't go through then I die.

The way it works is I initiate a Murder on a player. Each player votes yes or no. if it comes up majority 'yes' by the end of the day, then we kill them in addition to the regular lynch

Toal is pretty clear scum. They kept the door open to vote SiV and talked negatively about SiV without ever actually voting SiV and, instead, pushed other candidates (Bif). It's an open and shut case. Matlock merk here. :words:

Yes. We should all vote no.

1. GGN flipping scum is what I think will happen. Look at my case.

2. If GGN flips town, I�m confirmed town.

That said, I don�t mind the 50 thunderdome because he is trolling and his usual troll is a scum troll. But.... let�s kill GGN.

The phone thing is actually a reference to one of the games I submitted, where a guys spaceship broke down on an alien planet and he needed to find a phone to call space AAA and he goes to a bar where the aliens wouldn't let him use the phone unless he could beat them all at air hockey.

I just thought asking about the phone was hilarious. I've also mentioned the black knight which is a flavor thing from beyond dark castle, but unrelated to my role which is just town.

Tell us why you should live over GGN. Or don�t. It�s your life. Not mine.

GGN Is Scum
_{Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Vote ##No}

She played her role in a way to try to appear town rather than try to find scum
SiV's role interactions with GGN look like two scum buddies
She opened the door to vote SiV but tried to push other candidates

_{1. She played her role in a way to try to appear town rather than try to find scum

GenericGirlName posted:

We can save it but if we do it and majority is "no" then I die :/ which would suucckkkkkkk!

GenericGirlName posted:

So I only want to do this if town 100% thinks there's value in double lunch D1. Otherwise I save it.

Asking for town's permission and support before using an ability is scummy. GGN didn't try to find anyone's alignment here and instead just came to the thread asking us what she should do with this ability.

GenericGirlName posted:

Okay, sorry I'm back like 24 hours later, but I had guests over last night and work has been bad today. Don't worry though, soon I'll be unemployed.

As per true GGN style, I come with gifts, mostly because I couldn't actually say anything during the previous game day.

One of my powers is a role cop where I get alignment+game name+one ability

N1 - I copped DB (but obviously this could have been redirected?). Town. I wont say the whole game, but the one ability seems to be billy hatcher related(idk I never played this). But they have an egg. With all this talk of redirection I don't know how useful this really is? but I will put it out there. I picked pretty much at random because I was very sure the last 3 votes D1 were scum and we would actual pursue them yesterday.

N2 - merk, town. I will once again only mention one game, SS13 (hell yes, amazing) the ability from this game is AMAZING and people really need to stop roleblocking merk!!!!!!!! I don't really know how to describe it and also be vague but you submit a request and then get a one use power in return, mod makes up what the power is.

N1 I was given a lovely gun by someone???

RE:Why did I cop merk N2? It seemed like thread traction keeps going away from actually being suspicious of people who didn't want a free kill D1, and I didn't want to tunnel on those same like 3 people forever and ever. I copped merk because they hadn't really posted much.

Why would I admit I am a cop? Let's just say, my last ability, a passive, makes me feel pretty likely to make it to the next day, and I guess town should know this info. People who redirected, please maybe...don't

ok, now I need to make a second post responding to some other stuff

GGN needlessly claims a ton of information gleaned from role cops to the thread. Why reveal all of this information (besides the results of alignment)? Why include that weird explanation for targeting me (because her scum buddies convinced her to target me)?

2. SiV's interactions with GGN look like two scum buddies

spacing in vienna posted:

In re the PRs, I told shelf 3 that I had a couple of somewhat useful abilities and one very very stupid one and that I had to go for the stupid one. One of my games is Crazy Frog Racer so I can be the most annoying thing ever and assign people stupid PRs for the day.

I picked GGN because we tight and I knew she'd probably understand that I just had to be an idiot. I picked Hal because he ended the day yesterday by saying he hated discussion sooooo IRONY. And then I had no idea who to pick for #3 but I realized GGN and Hal were sequential in the sign up list, and right below them was IS.

GenericGirlName posted:

First, SiV chooses GGN for a PR. If you are scum using this ability, wouldn't you choose a scum buddy as a distancing effect?

Next, SiV chooses GGN for the PR that basically doesn't even let GGN play mafia on d2. If you're a scum buddy picking the PR for a scum buddy, there isn't a better PR to let your teammate basically do nothing for an entire day and get away with it.

3. She opened the door to vote SiV but tried to push other candidates

GenericGirlName posted:

I could go either way on the SiV read, but I'm also both biased (I love SiV) and paranoid (SiV was scum last game we were in! I was nearly TRICKED!!!) so who loving knows how badly I'm misreading her.

I will forever be willing to vote IS and I don't like the mouth feel of 50's posts during this game day. I'd rather not do the Murder command, and would rather cop tonight.

##vote IS I'm going to put the official vote on IS, but this isn't a done deal.

GenericGirlName posted:

I don't think Solus is scum, but I don't want to go towards a no lunch. When the next day starts I'll initiate a murder on Byers and we can get Byers as well as someone else, assuming that makes sense once we get the flips.

##vote Solus

...and then when momentum looked like SiV was pretty clearly getting lynched:

GenericGirlName posted:

Ok no I completely misremembered an exchange on D2 and it is not as scummy in retrospect, but SiV has been having a certain air to their posts that feel scummy? But at the same time it's so different from Serious Town Geared scum in the previous game we were in together. SiV is difficult for me to read unbiasedly, so with so many people finding her scummy I HAVE to vote her because if she's actually scum and I didn't help kill her I will be so loving mad at myself.

If SiV is scum: lmao giving me the post restriction because she KNEW I wouldn't find it suspicous? Top Ten Anime Betrayals......

Agreed.

If you're a scum player and want to use that PR in a way that advanced your win condition, you'd: 1) select a super loud voice in the thread that is speaking negatively against you or a scum buddy (didn't happen); or 2) give it to a scum buddy who can do nothing for an entire game day (this is what happened).

SIV-Wetrix X2 - Crazy Mega Man Frog Racer- Scum aligned was tossed in the trash can on d3!

[i]Wetrix X2 - Crazy Mega Man Frog Racer - Everyone's favorite robot murderer stars in a relaxing racing game where he races against early internet memes across an ever changing landscape of terrain that lowers and drops and suddenly fills with water. Watch out for bombs! (Wetrix, Mega Man 2, Crazy Frog Racer)

Absorption - When you do the night kill, if successful, you will absorb an ability from the target as a one shot power.

Landscaping - You may choose a player at night and they will be trapped by the earth making them jailed that night.

The most annoying loving thing ever - As a night action you may target three players. At the beginning of the following day, I will announce this to the thread by posting a crazy frog video. I will assign everyone targeted an annoying post restriction that must be followed on pain of modkill.

One note: SiV didn't perform the night action on n1 even with this Absorption ability. That must mean the scum have a better role than this to do the night kill.

I am strongly inclined to think AA is not scum based on this weirdly spastic play that is 100% reminiscent of their town play in two previous games.

I was thinking more #2 than anything else, to be honest. If GGN does not flip scum, would you be inclined to vote Hal, as the last remaining player to be post-restricted?

I haven't read Hal. I take scum hunting one flip at a time, usually.
